The biggest leak of US military files on the Iraq war will bolster efforts to
hold a new inquiry into the British military’s role in the killing and
torture of scores of Iraqi detainees and civilians, it was claimed today.

The website Wikileaks released yesterday almost 400,000 documents from the
start of 2004 until the end of 2009, which showed that the US-led military
was aware the Iraqi police, soldiers and national guards that they were
training and equipping were torturing and in some cases beating detainees to
death.
